"As a health and wellness company, we know how important it is to educate parents about Juvenile Arthritis, which is often misdiagnosed or goes undiagnosed," said Bob Wigman, director of Belgium-based SynTech Nutrition, the makers of the high-dosage Elite Series of nutritional supplements, such as SynFlex for joint care and SynTsize Pump, which is an all-in-one pre-workout product.

Juvenile arthritis is different from the types of arthritis that affects adults. It is an autoimmune form of arthritis, which attacks joints, causes swelling, stiffness, and permanent damage.

"Parents often think the aches and pains are normal growth issues," Wigman said, adding that they don't realize that juvenile arthritis if left untreated can result in loss of mobility, blindness, and even death. "It is important for parents to know the signs of juvenile arthritis, which include joint stiffness, especially in the morning, swelling and tenderness in the joints, and limping."
